Looks cool, however, you are slightly in error with your description of
the Dragon:

The Dragon does have TV out, as well as a monitor port, also the monitor
output of the base machine is composite + sound (on a 5 pin din-180).

Also the 64 also has a Serial port however driven by a 6551, rather than
bitbanged.

Apart from that a good overview of the CoCo.

Phill.
